Arteta stressed the importance of the three points as he told Sky Sports 1: "It was a good win, I think we had most of chances and possession.

"It was really important for us to win tonight and goal difference can be really important as well so we are really pleased with our performance.

"I think the first goal was really important, we had to break them down. I think after they opened up in the second half and we created more chances so the clean sheet is massive and the three goals for us is very important."
